Not long after his wife left, he received a package.
Inside, there was malted milk. He sent a jar to the eldest family, and there was still another jar at home. He couldn't waste it, so he made himself a cup every day.
"Drink it."
"Grandpa, is this malted milk?"
"Yes, your Little Aunt sent it back."
The two brothers drank happily.
Zhao Tianhai was busy with meat from several factories in the county town and went everywhere looking for pigs ready for sale, riding his bicycle in the scorching heat.
But he got beaten up again, this time by a girl who had married out from the Zhao Family Village Team. She saw Zhao Tianhai and had her man take him back.
"Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Da Shu and Xiao Shu saw their dad seemed to be beaten up.
"You just lie down!" Captain Zhao didn't know what to say.
It was only a little over a month since the last time he got beaten, and now he was beaten again, this time more seriously.
